Connect the Zone Cables

To connect a zone cable:

1. From slots 2 or 3, ports 1 or 2 of each switch on the specified fabric, remove the

black plug from the port you are connecting to. Leave the plugs for the remaining

ports in place to protect from dust.

2. Remove the dust cap from the MMF or SMF fiber-optic cable connector.

3. One cable at a time, connect the cable ends. Refer to Zone Cable Connections on

page 6-10

4. Check the link-alive LED near each PIC port. The link-alive LED should light a few

seconds after the cable is connected at both ends. If the link-alive LED does not

light, refer to Green Link-Alive LED Is Not Lit on page 10-2.

5. Route the fiber-optic cables through the cable-management assembly. Refer to

Routing the Fiber-Optic Cables on page 6-22.

6. When all zone cables have been connected, wait a few minutes for the fabric to

become operational.

7. Perform all the checking operations in Checking the Operation of the ServerNet

Cluster on page 8-2.
